Aspergers Syndrome

bellaminnie

Hi all does anyone have aspergers Syndrome from Ireland. Im trying to get in touch with people who have it. Or is there any friendship or relation ship course out there for it.

At present im setting up Irelands best group and its going to be the best Aspergers Syndrome group in the world i intend to make it like that to help people out. Make friends and have a happier life.

But i have over 80 members already and ive only met 12 of them. Alot of them have said to me that they find it hard to get a girl friend. Im wondering is there anyone that can Volunteer for this. Or is there any organisations out there not Aspire they dont do this kind of thing.

Im trying to get help for my friends they find it hard to get a girlfriend and im trying to find a program were they can get help and succeed in getting a girlfriend im looking for vollinteers to help me with this and have experience in the past from gettign girlfriends. I know alot of people who are married how did they get together so there has to be a way to do it so it can teach and make people happy. One of my friends attempted suside over this because he coulden get a girl friend and I dotn want this to happen thats why im trying to find supports so people wiht aspergers syndrome can get girl friends

What exactly are you looking for a volunteer to do?

bellaminnie

The reason why im looking for a vol. Is because I want them to teach people with aspergers syndome how to get a girlfriend and make friends. So it can improve there future.

Its questionable whether getting a girlfriend will improve an aspies future or make it more complicated. Personally I would say go in the other direction and have them focus on using the cognitive skills that are usually associated with aspies.

Out of interest, of those aspies you know of who have girlfriends, what percentage are financially well off as a result of using cognitive skills in their professions?

bellaminnie

None of them are well off and they don't have any money. But nobody knows how to give girlfriend skills and friendship skills in Ireland. This country is no good people are stuck up and wont help. All im asking is a Volunteer who dosent have Aspergers Syndrome. To help guide them in the right way to get a girlfriend. And improve there friendships and relationships. If there is anyone out there in third Level college starting off and wants to work on this as a project let me know

bellaminnie

The country seems to be all about money. If you dont have money you cant get the proper supports for girlfriend, relationship and friendship skills

Are all your friends male it's seems a bit strange to be just interested in getting girlfriends . If you do get someone thats good at setting up relationships their skills will be of little use to people with asperger's as they see the world and people in a different way. My brother and my daughter have asperger's and I have often thought it would be nice if my brother had a girlfriend but know she would have to be very understanding like the same subjects live life by the clock not invade his space and of course they would have to like each other maybe such a girl is out there and maybe their paths will cross someday but as to a matchmaker putting them together I just can't see it happening.
As for my daughter NO MAN WILL EVER TOUCH HER :D

Aspire have a list of some support/social groups.

Bellaminnie -

There already exists The Aspergers Syndrome Association, which is probably better set up to meet the needs of sufferers and their families and friends.

They run support groups and will help you set up a support group of your own if you wish.

They also run a Drama programme, which helps participants enhance their social and interpersonal skills.


Hope this helps.
